Default Another 1969 ss 396 300 deluxe found

Im gonna introduce another 1969 ss 396 300 deluxe post car that I recently found bought then sold. It went out west and due to some unfortunate circumstances on the new owners side it looks like Im gonna be traveling across country to buy the car back.
Its a Kansas built Fathom green 1969 ss 396 300 deluxe post car. I believe it to be a 396/325 horse 4 speed car with factory 5500 redline tachometer. No motor or transmission but all the original engine accessories came with the car. Black vinyl interior. Car still wears its original paint and apparently it had the white strip from the factory as its still visible on the inside of the door. Car still has all the original brake booster master cylinder calipers and drums. Cars gonna need some obvious sheet metal work which lucky over the years i have accumulated most everything NOS .
If i do indeed get the car back in my possession it will be torn down and sent out in the fall for sheet metal work and paint.

If those are the original fenders there’s a good chance the build sheet is stuck inside one of them.

Tony as far as i could tell when i had the car in my possession the cars never been apart. So hopefully if i end up with the car back hopefully the build sheet is present. The cars been parked since the late 70’s .

This car looks a bit familiar. Very cool car indeed! Your codes line up well with a ?jan? build? Any pics of the trim tag?
